THE BASIC GENERAL RULES;

To enter the meet a swimmer must be entered by his / her Y and thus no official entry blank will be published here. See your coach or Athletic Director to enter. A complete list of rules will accompany the entry blank but the important basic  rules are these:

1. A swimmer must be a member of his / her Y for 90 days prior to the meet.

2. A swimmer must have met the Qualifying Times noted above during the present season

3. The swimmer must have represented only his / her Y in open competition after October 31, 2007. Example 1. Jane Smith can not represent Dolphin Aquatics a U.S.S. swim team  in U.S.S.  meets and the local Y in  the state meet.  Some Y's swim in U.S.S.  competition as a team representing the local Y. That is     OK, they have a U.S.S. charter and represent their Y. Example 2  Tim Brown represents his local High School in High School competition and also his Y in the state meet. This is legitimate because High School swimming is closed to the High Schools.

4. A swimmer must have competed in at least 2 inter association meets between Sept.1,2007 and the closing date for entries.

If a swimmer's Y does not have a team they may compete in the state meet if they meet the requirements above except possibly number 4. Contact the State Commissioner or Meet Director for further information
